Played by Peter Choyce on KUSF in 1994. Announced as a single by the band "Passenger" titled "Bookmark," but there's seemingly no information online about the single.
Lyrics: I know that you love those books sometimes They treat you better than I do But I know you're not so poor You can't pay attention to me And if that story's getting good On the page that you've turned into your playground I'm glad for you, it's just this once I want you to read my mind instead
And it doesn't seem right to me And I'm not even sure what my motives are But I just wish you'd get a bookmark, save your place And spend some time with me Spend some time with me
[?] too real to you And I'm just a character out of the chapter But if you skip to the end, you'll find There aren't any pages written anyway And if I give up, you won't know But all I wanted was a few of your words Coming back in your mouth [?] into your eyes
And it doesn't seem right to me And I'm not even sure what my motives are But I just wish you'd get a bookmark, save your place And spend some time with me Spend some time with me Spend some time with me Spend some time with me

Played on KVRX in 2001-2002 on a show called The NewWave Zolocoaster. Announced as "Who Knew" by an artist that phonetically sounds like Nemure but I can't find anything on it. Apparently on an album that sounds like "Nium."
Lyrics: You've got the longest part of this hammer And it's pounding down on my head Or like the deepest darkest tunnel Ain't no engines out of her head
It's not enough that I work with you (You) (Never let go) What you want is to own me (True) (Never let go) It's not enough that I'm true to you (You) (Never let go) What you want is to own me (True)

Lyrics: In these days, I have given me some time To think about a far off flight Filling space like wandering around And now I feel she's part of myself In this light, I always find A secret place in her mind
Without your voice, I want to run I have to wait for your return, return Return (x7)
Uncertain man, send it to my taste I know this place, it's holy wine Look my way, only far away in time Our eyes will meet in the crater line
In this life I always find A secret place In her mind
See the passion, [?] it never ends And see it go to other hands I can't play, but I can [?] To share her dreams with someone else

Played by Peter Choyce on KUSF on March 22nd, 1994. Announced as "Sexy Satyr" by Zamboni from a local compilation presumably called "Quixotes" or something like that.
UPDATE 7/13/2025: No audio, but partially solved by Bloost Media as Sexy Seder by Tzamboni from the compilation "Quixotic: Heck, It's a Sampler of San Francisco Bands!" ebay.com/itm/186626238502
UPDATE 7/18/2025: Still no audio just yet, but confirmed by band violinist Adrienne Biggs!
Played by Peter Choyce on WZBC on July 7th, 1992 (mistakenly typed in Mixcloud as 1990). References the L.A. riots. Peter announces the title of this one as "Easy To Be Hard," mentions Dave Herlihy from O Positive being the vocalist in this song, and seems to announce the group as "I Am The Svengali," which, according to him, has "taped here before here at 'ZBC, so [they] trust that name."
UPDATE 6/19/2025: I got a response back from Dave Herlihy himself, and apparently he said it wasn't him on vocals. This leads me to believe that Peter Choyce made a mistake while announcing this track.
Lyrics: (Knife pointing to you and then some-) (Turning it and turning it and turning it and turning it inside, and once [?] get inside, you just [?])
(What is going on in L.A. must and will stop. I guarantee you.) (Bullshit)
That boy just killed a man And he deserved to die I read it in the Bible Pluck an eye out for an eye
Pluck-pluck (Must be condemned) Pluck an eye out for an eye (Must be condemned)
We all know he's lying Just to save his skinny ass Let's strap the boy into the chair Let go the lethal gas
It's easy to be hard When you watch it on TV It's easy to be hard When it's there next to me It's easy to be sure What's wrong is wrong and right is right It's easy to be hard When you can turn it off at night (One, two, three, kiss the wall)
(Let them know, let them know what time it is) (Your eyes are playing tricks on you, my brother, okay?)
You say he was on a green card Send him back from where he came We've got to set a precedent Or get more of the same
(I never saw such fine Americanism as is exhibited by you people)
My house to my car, my job, my wife God bless my little girl
It's easy to be hard When you watch it on TV It's easy to be hard When it's there next to me It's easy to be sure What's wrong is wrong and right is right It's easy to be hard When you can turn it off at night (One, two, three, kiss the wall)
(One, two, three, kiss the wall) (Put your hands on your head and face the wall)
Welfare state perpetuate Corruption and deceit It's time to cut these people off And get them on their feet
(Can we all get along? Can we-can we get along?) (Don't make any mistake about it, you've got the sympathy of the American people) (Now don't you lose it) (Now don't you lose it) (Now don't-now don't-now don't you lose it) (Don't you lose it)
Well, they don't kill each other off That's all sex and drugs and hate
(Let them know, let them know what time it is) (No justice in America, not for the flag)
It's easy to be hard It's easy to be hard It's easy to be sure
(There has been a miscarriage of justice) (One, two, three, kiss the wall)
It's easy to be hard (There you go) It's easy to be hard (Put your hands on your head) It's easy to be sure (Put your hands on your head) It's easy to be hard When you can turn it off at night (One, two, three, kiss the wall)Ivanhoe!

Lyrics: I thought that we were sinking I knew that gun was loaded She pointed that thing at me My fucking mind exploded And now my soul is searching I feel my fingers burning She's taming lions I have the big bad wolf inside me And now the smoke is clearing I see her in the distance Her eyes are burning through me I hear her calling to me
"Come sit next to the fire" I sit next to the fire Goddamn your friends They have the devil in them "Come sit next to the fire" I sit next to the fire She's! In! My! Skin! I let her get too close I let her get too close She's! In! My! Skin! I let her get too close I let her get too close
It's in the east, I chew my sword I try my best to praise the Lord And all His grace and wisdom We can't defeat the system
We got away with something It hurts to tell the truth now I got away with something I hear her calling to me
Played by Peter Choyce on WERS on January 3rd, 1981. Peter announces the band as B.J., Beth, & The Breakdowns but doesn't say what the title is. His announcement is definitely correct, however. The group consists of B.J. Plattner and Beth Caurant, and they've made a video for another song titled "Rude Girls Don't Make Coffee." youtu.be/SWY_hVaxLJQ
UPDATE 6/6/2025: Title confirmed by B.J. Plattner and Isara108 (B.J.'s daughter)

Folk tune from Cambridge, MA singer-songwriter Richard Johnson. Peter Choyce has played this song at least two times, one on WZBC in 1996 and one on KXLU in 2011, and this recording is from the 2011 KXLU broadcast.
